Yes you need to keep the pump. You remove the d5 from that fugly housing it is in at the moment and attach it to the reservoir.

I second the pump/bay res combo its just so much cleaner and easier to setup IMO

You guys prefer the bay resevoirs over a tube pump/res?

Depends on what you're looking for. It simplifies the loop. I use a tube reservoir myself, but I have a custom faceplate in my TJ07 drivebays. I will say they are way better than they used to be.

Unless the tube res is part of the look you're going for, without a doubt a bay pump/res... it just simplifies everything so much, and makes for a much cleaner install.

Alright, you guys converted me. Now for an important question.

I am looking at the Koolance RP-985 Single 5.25 Pump/Res. I think this is actually decently priced considered it is a pump,resevoir, display and fan controller.

My question is, which I can't find anywhere; how many fans does it control? Is there a way to hook up 6 fans (push/pull 360 rad) into one fan slot?

If so, I think it's a good bang for the buck and space saver.

That's a combination pump and res. You already have a D5/MCP655 pump so you should be looking at something like this: http://www.dazmode.com/store/index.p...roducts_id=756

I know, but I may be looking to get rid of the pump if I can get an all in one unit with fan controller and temp display.

The only thing holding me back is the nothingness of information on it's fan controller.

I would just do what the others have said, keep the current pump and get that XSPC (or EK etc) bay res and if you REALLY want a fan controller get a separate one because it will be better?
